@WallStreetApes That’s exactly why I refuse to give money to charities. Almost all of them are scams.

Now this is mind blowing
Joe Rogan “Kids Wish Network:
- They raised $127 million
- They paid to solicitors $109 million
- They spent large percentage on direct cash
- Aid to the actual kids is ONLY 2.5%
- Look at the Cancer Fund of America. LESS THAN 1% went to the actual thing”⠀
I looked more into this and it’s mind blowing
- In 2012 they raised $18.6 million, but only $240,000 went to actually granting wishes. That only about 1.3%
- Overall over a 10 year period only about 2.5% or less was direct aid
- Founder Mark Breiner pocketed almost $5 million
Cancer Fund of America is even worse
- They raised tens of millions. One of several linked orgs totaling over $187 million across their entire network
- Professional solicitors took 80+ cents of every dollar
- Less than 1% went to actual patient aid in many years
These orgs were shut down after FTC and multi-state actions in 2015. It was one of the largest charity fraud cases at the time

@TheKevinDalton I can’t wait for Hair Gel’s term to end. He went from a failed San Francisco mayor to an even worse and more corrupt governor.

Gavin Newsom paid 7% over asking on a $9 million home and moved his family well away from the homelessness and skyrocketing crime he created in California.
He is the exact imbalance he claims to be saving you from.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
This is not sustainable. Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics. We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

If you want more of the same and worse—Xavier Becerra is your guy.
But if you want $3 gas, your $100k tax-free, a home you can afford, to cut your electric bills in half, and to fix our schools—it’s time for change.
Vote for Change—Vote for Steve Hilton ☀️👊

🚨 JESSE JUST WENT THERE 😂
Jesse Watters TORCHED Gavin Newsom on live TV
“You could probably convince the base that Gavin is a woman. He changes his mind a lot, he’s always in the mirror, he’s crossing his legs.”
LOL!

Luka's offense is generational—elite vision, step-backs, and creation at high volume. But Kobe? Unmatched footwork, mid-range mastery, fadeaways, and that killer scoring instinct. Peak Kobe was a different beast. Different eras make it close, but I'd still take Mamba offensively. What do you think?

Some campaigns rely on $70M in ads.
We got to #1 in the polls the old-fashioned way: traveling California and talking to voters.

Trump’s not the problem, you failed piece of 💩. CA already has the HIGHEST gas prices in the country because of your policies. You turned California into a homeless, crime-ridden 💩 hole. This is all on you. Own it, gel-head!
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
There is no real endgame in sight with Trump's war with Iran. Markets are roiling and gas prices are surging. How can the President of the United States explain this to the American people?

It’s the “rule of Don,” not the rule of law. Trump is unhinged — and dangerous.
World leaders: Stop whispering in private and caving to him in public. Stand strong. Stand united!
Wake up!

@ChefGruel None of these investigations, reports, or excuses will mean anything until people are actually held accountable and arrested. Start with greasy Gavin Newsom.

This is a travesty.
We should not be paying a single dollar in taxes until this is fully addressed.
We raised and distributed $500,000 in goods directly to fire relief victims, with zero waste and zero leakage. Hundreds of Orange County and Huntington Beach neighbors stepped up, volunteered, donated, and helped each other in real time.
Meanwhile, established organizations were siphoning money meant for victims.

Today the House Judiciary Committee released the report I requested on the LA FireAid concert. Among the findings: -FireAid funds were used for activities such as voter participation initiatives, podcast programming, fungus-planting projects, and compensation for nonprofit staff. -Approximately $550,000 in donations went to organizations involved in political advocacy. -At least $250,000 was directed toward programs benefiting undocumented immigrants. -$100,000 in FireAid donations was paid to podcasters. -More than $500,000 was used to cover salaries, bonuses, and consultant fees for nonprofit organizations. While many worthy nonprofits did receive grants that were used to support victims, this report provides lessons for the disbursement of any remaining FireAid funds and future charitable disaster-relief efforts.
